Why the Jabiim campaign cannot bypass the fortified system

Jabiim blocks the only route to Mon Calamari in this campaign, explaining the need to take the fortified system.

Question

Why must the Rebel forces take Jabiim instead of bypassing it?

Short answer

Jabiim controls the only hyperlane route to Mon Calamari in that version of the game.

Notes

In this version of the strategy game, Mon Calamari is accessible only through Jabiim. The hyperlane layout makes the fortified system a gateway that the Rebel forces cannot simply bypass. Bypassing the battle would leave that destination inaccessible.
